I have the chance to buy a new frame, a Propel Advanced, the ISP one.
But I just found out that it is Di2/EPS only.
I was planning to move over my current Chorus groupset to it. But now I am not sure what my options are!

It was suggested to get some holes drilled, I am pretty ok with this and not too worried. But has anyone done it before?
A friend did it to make a frame Di2 compatible, but not heard about the other way round.

I thought about maybe getting Ultegra Di2, but I really want to stay with Campag as my wheels and tools are all Campag.

I thought Athena EPS, but I dont really like the look of it too much. I cant find any Chorus EPS prices.

The bike comes with brakes and I already have the crankset.

Ideas anyone?

    If the OP already has Chorus there's no need to buy a full groupset, just the Chrous EPS upgrade kit - shifters/PU/CU/mechs and charger stuff.

    And sell off the mechanical bits from the other groupset to cut costs - it's what I did on my Recod EPS.

    At least thats a guide to how much it will cost.

    Correct, I dont need a few of the parts. Just a conversion kit really. I dont know if that is a little too much money though. About €1200 to convert I am assuming.
